If you would like to know more about solar panel and how it work, where to buy and what to buy, please watch this video at www.noisecube.com/videos.php. We have complete solar panel kit to power just 3 things like FAN, TV AND BULB, we can also provide solar kit to power just about anything in your house. We would like to know peoples opinion about the solar panel kit and what they want to power.
For country like Nigeria with constant sun light almost everyday for 10-13 hours, solar panel could be very helpful because as longs as the sun is up, you are guarrantied of none stop electricity. You have to save that electricity in a battery(charging) in case rain or in the night. Then you will use the battery and inverter to run the 3 things mentioned above. When the sun come out again it will refill(recharge) the battery again for another night, so you will never lack electricity. 
Beside I still think some Nigerians are not tired of darkness, not to offend any body please. Let people know about solar energy, it will be good for Nigeria.
Thinking of getting solar panel and you don't know which one or how much it will cost or maybe just want to know how it works? Please contact me. chriaisa@yahoo.co.uk or watch my video on www.noisecube.com/videos.php

hm,

Afam, do you have an idea where I can buy Zenith deep cycle batteries and are they any good? If no please recommend one that I can buy in Lagos.

hello i read your post and it is an intersting one. i am a National Deploma certificate Holder in fedponek Elect/ Elect. am actually seeking for a place to undergo Training in building of inverter and other related circult. can u help me out? am desperate about it.

@Afam and Akinniade, you both sound knowledgable about inverters and their accessories. but let me speak for myself and what i have used and still using. I have two inverters, One india and one chinese.The chinese is a 1kva, which i bought as a backup when i had a problem with my india inverter due to lightning, and the house i stayed b4 was not earthed.But since i fixed the india inverter that was 3-4years ago, i have had no problem whatsoever with it. It is 1.4KVA Sukam. I have been using it for more than 5years now.
For the 8 hours power supply,where Afam is staying and where ur office is matters alot. If u stay in a place where u get phcn supply for atleast 3 hours in a day, u might survive with only ur inverter. But when the power supply is erratic i.e phcn supply is not charging to full potential b4 it goes off or when u will stay for atleast 2days without power supply and it is a regular occurence, then i think u need a generator. I have stayed for about 6months without putting on my gen set but when we had supply problem for about 4days, i need to fall back to my gen for evening charging.
Also, i think people go for the wet cell batteries because of the cheap price. To be candid, i have used both and i tell u that the deep cycle cannot be compared with the wet cell at all. It last longer and it is reliable.
For the Loads, u can change all ur bulbs to original energy saver bulbs. I say original cos the ones they sell for N100 or N150 is not original. The fake ones bridge the potential anytime it is burnt and this bridge is fed back to the inverter and this indirectly affects ur batteries.
@Afam, i am really planning to go for a larger rating of inverter and if possible solar, but from ur comment, i think i need to investigate it more b4 i invest in solar panel for now cos it is not cheap at all.
I will visit ur site and compare the charging and discharging of urs to my sukam and see if urs is giving better efficiency than mine. If yes, then i will contact you later.
Question, can ur inverter be connected with solar panel later if u so wish.

having read all the posts on this thread, i am left with the feeling that majority of people still do not have a good understanding of how an inverter system works.

while i commend posters like afam for taking time to explain some of the finer details, a good number of us still hold on to deep misconceptions.

i also thank gzib (the last poster) for shedding more light on the issue based on personal experience and i want to contribute mine here too.

i have been using inverters for the past 4 yrs and i can tell you that there is no better solution to the erratic power situation in the country than going for inverters.

1) the key to enjoying your inverter backup system is to do proper load sizing before venturing into buying of inverters. many people just jump at inverters and begin to use them like they are using generators while expecting the same kind of performance with all their house load connected. at the end they are disappointed because the batteries drain out faster than they can be recharged and eventually go dead all due to poor planning.

2) with a good inverter, you can run without generators for months if your guaranteed at least 3 hrs of phcn power every other day. i live in an area where they ration the light and we have this one day in and one day out thing and somedays we only have power for just about three hour and yet we are able to run only on inverters for months without generators.

3) deep cycle batteries can either be wet cell or dry cell. it is the plate construction that makes them deep cycle and not the seal. the reason most people run away from wet cell is due to the higher maintenance requirements like topping up, periodic equalizing, etc. also the risk of acid spill is very high. with sealed dry cells you don't have to worry about any of such. i have been using my zenith batteries now for over 4 yrs and they are still going strong.

4) on the controversy btw locally made, chinese, indian or american inverters: i started off using a local made inverter and i almost got my house burnt down. not only was the switching erratic, you had no idea of battery voltage or remaining battery ah and to make matters worse the mosfet almost caught fire on three occasions during charging. at the end i had to abandon it for a chinese inverter. i used the chinese inverter for over two yrs and recently when i went to switch on the inverter, it just blew up without warning. when i too it to the dealer he said the mosfet had expired and it was always like that anytime the mosfet was about to 'expire'. i was very disappointed at this statement and to make matters worse, the spare part was not available in the country. when i called my customer in lagos he specifically warned me to stay off chinese inverters. at the end of the day i bought an indian inverter (sukam) which i'm using presently and i can tell you i'm not regretting it at all. personally i think the chinese have some catching up to do as far as inverter design and manufacture is concerned. the indians are way ahead. as for the american types like xantex, trace, outback i think the price is the real issue if not that is what everyone should be using.

5) you can power your house with solar, price not withstanding. solar panels are presently almost half the price they used to be this time last year so with proper planning you can buy one module at a time and over time you'll discover you have all the power you need to run independent of phcn. that is how i started and today i have almost 2kw worth of modules. this days phcn is just like a mere formality for me because most times my battery bank gets full just from solar power before our light gets restored when it is our turn. we now use electricity anytime we want without recourse to public power.

This is not a permanent solution, its just a temporary situation. I believe the solution lies in water because its the largest raw material in our country. I just designed a generator that runs on water and it works very well.

congrats-if this is real!

I share how you feel about locally built inverters but to be honest with you, the challenges we face with locally built inverters are fake parts, concerns for profit, knowledge, experience and exposure.
I have been building inverters for over 9yrs now and i have had issues but after i decided to change some things about how its built and designs, i stopped having issues. For example, i stopped buying new mosfets. I opted for mosfets from old apc inverters or importing from Fairchild through my friend in uk and i took my time in doing a lot of research into protection rather than power output. If you have a very high wattage at your output but you don't have a single protection, you end up in square one
A lot of inverter builders in Nigeria are only concerned with the money they want to make from the inverter which leads them to building things that are not worthy of a toddlers design and secondly, the damage that this get rich quick syndrome people that tells people to come and learn how to build inverters in one day are causing is so enormous that i decided to speak against it in punch one time like that but the article wasn't published.

I think we need to change our orientation concerning the fact that locally made inverters cannot work. Each an everyone of you has gotten painful tales to tell but i still know that if all the things i have mentioned are dealt with accordingly, we would soon have good inverters made in Nigeria.

If you are interested in buying solar panels, I recently purchased panels and inverter from Brytesolar.com

www.brytesolar.com

good luck

avocat,
does brytesolar sell solar hot water systems?

Sharp as stopped making the 80W and we need to get ride of this stock. I currently have huge stock of this SHARP 80 Module (NE-80EJEA) for OFF GRID applications. Each module cost 50K. Minimum order of 20 panels. There is only 700 of these panels available. These are originals all manufactured in the US. Email me at pecorns1986@gmail.com and I will provide you with the data sheet. They all come with sharp's 25 year warranty. I can email you the exact specification if you want. I also have Morningstar Sunsaver 12 volt battery controller Charge control for 11K. Minimum orders of 20 as well apply.

pecorns,
80w panel prices have come down lower than what your selling.

@George_D
What Brand of solar panel are you talking about it.?? This is a SHARP module and they are generally more expensive than chinese brands like Yingli? I will admit, there are other cheaper solar panels out there, any industry expert will tell you that Sharp is worth every penny you spend on it. If you don't mind me asking how much are 80W panels going for? If you can include the brand name as well I would appreciate that.

pecorns,
sharp solar panels 80w are selling for less than 40k now in the market. try and make your research properly.

@George_D
I guess I really should forget about the 80W, at that kind of price, no way i can make it, it's cool, hopefull the 200W panels are not going for such prices as well, I think my prices are pretty good, some one was sell 200W sharp for like 170K, i can supply that for way less,

pecorns,
better not take my word for it. you may still be able to sell off your stock at your price.

I will rather return them back to Sharp and get my cost money back, instead of going thru the trouble of having to supply people at give away prices, I will lose some money cause of shipping but not a big deal, it's still better then selling at a loss, to people who don't deserve it, the panels are ideal for a street lights, most of the people are looking for home application, where they are better off going with 200W modules, in my view, a house that needs 3200W will need 40 panels 80watt panels while you can achieve the same thing with just 13 panels rated at 235W. At my cost, 1.5M, at that price, i will include two Morningstar TriStar MPPT 60A for free, the only problem, it will take about 6-8weeks to arrive and I expect the entire 1.5M the day you get the panels, no stories,

pecorns,
no problem. i guess your the one who wears the shoe so you know where it pinches.

i have sent you a mail. kindly reply.

pecorns,
(i'm enjoying this your packages even though the prices are not for the faint of heart!

Thanks George D for your honest opinion. I saw a comment you made a long time ago about the comparision between generators and solar panels. I am not sure what your background in school was in but you certainly know alot about engineering economics. Solar panels in my opinion are for people who want constant electricity 24/7. People who want electricity for short time duration during the day will find a generator most economical. To make solar panels affordable, I am trying to see if i can partner with a credit lending company for individuals. The problem with that is, people who qualify for this amount of loans can basically buy this unit cash if they wanted, but i am looking at the idea of people who can offer 30% down payment and pay off the rest of the amount over 3 to 5 year period. Still this option is not for the common man, so inshort, solar panels are not meant for the average man in Nigeria, sad, but it just the reality.

percorns,
you are absolutely correct.and not only in nigeria but all over the world,solar power nay all forms of alternative energy are beyond the reach of the average man.it gets particularly worse here when compared to places like (most parts) of the usa where rebates are available to encourage citizens who want to go this route.

still despite the lack of govt incentives here solar is by far the most economical option and it pays for itself in the long run-as my calculations show.
